Special Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR.
NEW YORK, Sept. 3O.-Michael Davttt, the Irish
agitator, is on the ocean and is now nearing New
York. He sailed from Queenstown on the 22d,
after telling correspondent that he was going to
visit New York on strictly private business, and
not as an emissary OF the league or Of Messrs.
Gladstone and Parnell The prominent Irishmen
IN this city say that 1t is true that Mr.. Davitt
comes on private business but it is also true that
being at all times and In all places friend OF the
Irish cause, he will not neglect TO ascertain, by
personal contact just what is the feeling in this
city concerning the affairs OF Erin. There has
been OF late an 1ntensifying of the sentiment
Which Is always in an Irshman'S heart when Eng
land is mentioned. The murders in MitchelstOwn
and violent cOercive measures elsewhere have not
been without their effect on this side Of the At
lantic. Among the extremists here there has been
considerable talk OF dynamite. The city contains
great number OF men like lyman, the reputed
No. l. who had grievances distinctly personal, and
who a1wavq think rcf Wh M ne
oppression is pracJ1ced. 1t has been said that
great dynamite plots were Matching here, and that
the secret warfare on England would be resumed.
But In spite OF all these rumors OF plots there is
very strong majority; in fact, an overwhelming
number who look upon the subject In different
light.
EDITOR PATRICK FoRD's VIEWS.
Editor Patrick Ford, Of the Irish World, voiced
the sentiment Of the conservative Irishmen very

as representative, and It is certainly worthy of
consideration. He probably hates England uf the

and tories Were practically united in their oppres

an England divided against Itself. and anything
that should tend to unite 1t would be greatly to

can safely say that there is no real division OF
sentiment on this point in America We are
united, and we place our hope upon the fact that
England is divided. 1t would be sad pity If any

not tell when the present government may have
to go before the people; we hope it may come
soon; we look for victory on the right side The
shades OF opinion; we are not divided on the dy-
Mantle question. We all hope for home rule; vast
majority would like TO see ireland govern herself
Independently. The question Is one OF expediency.
1t is useless for ZOO 0O0 to fight 900 OOO when
the larger party has all the wealth and the re-
sources OF warfare. It cannot be done. Neither

means; but when it comes to resistance OF present
tyranny In Ireland, We cannot help SymDathtZng

you can set down the stories OF dynamite plot

DAvITT DON'T WANT PUBLIC RECEPTION.
Speaking OF Mr.. Davitts visit Mr.. Ford said that
he did not believe that gentleman would speak in
public that he desired any public reception. He
believed that Mr. Davttt would do his best to stop
any such demonstration II IL were organized here.
MIR. Davltt'S visit may very likely relate to prop
erty OF his wife's, who was an American girl At
any rate all the Irishmen here VIII be glad to
him, and they will extend to him every possible
private courtesy. Doubtless ne will be made to
understand that the sympathies OF Irishmen here
are even more strongly with their aff1icted coun-
trymen since the recent shedding OF blood.
1t is worthy OF notice that the difference among
the Irish Americans which was caused by Mr..
O'BrienS s refusal to speak at the public meeting
in Union Square is now completely obliterated
